A Study of Some Neotropical Leafhofpers A STUDY OF SOME NEOTROPICAL LEAFHOFPERS (HOKOFTERA: CICADELLIDAE: IDIOCERINAE) DISSERTATION Presented, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jenaro Maldonado-Capriles, B. S. A., M. 3. S, The Ohio State University 1956 Approved by: Dr. Carl ET Venarc Adviser Department of Zoology and Entomology Acknowledgments The many technicalities that were met during the study of this insect material could never have been solved and the work finisned witn- out tne invaluable and unselfish help of all the persons mentioned below. To all of them I am sincerely and gratefully Indebted. Dr. Carl E. Venard whose constant counsel and suggestions helped me, not only to finish this dissertation, but to make the best of my stay at Ohio State University. Dr. D. J. Borror for nis advise on nomenclatural and bibliographi­ cal problems. Dr. J. N. Knull for letting me examine the types of Idlotettlx Osborn. Special thanks are due to Dr. George Wallace, of tne Carnegie Mu­ seum, for tne loan of all of Osborn's types of Idlocerus Lewis and to Dr. David A. Young Jr., of t:*e United States Department of Agriculture, for tne detailed correction of parts of t e first typescript, many other suggestions, and the drawings of the styles of Caldwell’s types. One last word of acknowledgment is due to the members of the Ma- quiritare Tribe of Venezuelan Carib Indians without whose help the collection of the Venezuelan material treated tiere and other very Interesting material in ti.e collection of the University of Puerto Rico would have been simply impossible. To their uncanny knowledge of the deep Jungle and its ways we owe the success of our venture and the fact that we came back alive from Terra incognita. 11 Table of Contents Page 1 .

It contains a description of a new genua and new species collected by the writer in Territorio Amazonas, Venezuela, S. A., and a study of species of IdloceruB Lewis described by Osborn and by Caldwell. It includes the redescription and transfer of Osborn's and the transfer of Caldwell's species, previously include.* „^eru8 Lewis, into the new genus. 2 Methods In order to examine the second abdominal sternal apodeme and the internal male genitalia the whole abdomen of the specimen has to be detached from tne thorax. After relaxing an insect, the abdomen was removed by Inserting a fine pin or needle between the thorax and the abdomen and then pulling the abdomen free witn a pair of fine forceps. The detached abdomen was then cleared, stained and dissected for micro­ scopic study. This process can be summarized as follows; 1. heat the detached abdomen for ten to fifteen minutes or leave the abdomen over­ night in 10$ KOH solution, 2. remove tne alkeli with warm water, 3» neutralize any remaining alkali with 10$ HCl aqueous solution, 4. stain with 5$ acid fuschin aqueous solution, 5 * dissect internal male genitalia from genital capsule, and 6 . store in small vials attacned to tne pins of corresponding specimens. Drawings were made by means of an ocular grid with both compound and stereoscopic dissecting microscopes. Tne part to be drawn was sub­ merged in a snail cup of acid (2$ acetic) glycerine and ueld in place by means of a small amount of boric acid ointment rubbed un tr.e bottom. Slide projectors were used in making drawings of tne wings. The dimensions of tne face were taken by measuring from tne top of the crown to the base of the clypellus and across from the inner margins of tne eyes. The second abdominal sternal apodeme was sketcned wnlle having the abdominal sterna horizontal and upward. 3 In redescribitig Osborn's types hlB account of colors is used again instead of trying to describe the present faded colors of the specimens. Caldwell's descriptions of the three Puerto Rican species have been cited verbatim. Terminology Oman's terminology was used for describing the characters of the body, genitalia, and wing venation. Tables I, II, and III summarize and compare tne terms used with the equivalents used by modern students of the Cicadellidae. Metcalf (1913) has published similar tables and in order to avoid repetition the terminology ae compares is not treated here.

These characters i.ave been summarized from Oman (19^9)* Tne lew genuds described in this dissertation exhibits all these characters but the apex cf the clypellus is slightly brtader tr'3 n its basal width and tne dorsal extremities of tne clypeus of a few specimens reac; ti.e ocelli. Genera in Idlocerlnae Baker 1915 Evans (19^7) lists 22 genera under Idlocerlnae. Omen (19^SJ) considers one of t.nese, Zlnneca Amyot and Serville, a synonym of I die - cerus Lewis.

Austrocerus Evans. The gena not deeply emarglnate, the frontal suture not directed inward at its apex only, and all the spines on the row of strong spines on the hind tibia equally set and spaced. 2. Baloeha Distant. With two subaplcal and four apical cells in the forevlng, the lateral sutures of clypeus not meeting between ocelli, 3. Busonia Distant. With well defined upper lateral suture of clypeus, ocelli not very much nearer the eyes than to each other, legs not slender, forevlng not short and broad, and the outer apical cell not very long and broad. Chunra Distant. With the scutellum and clypeus not more or leBs tumidly elevated and the forevlng with only two subaplcal cells instead of three. 5. Chunroldes Evans. Face on lateral aspect not concave and the postfrontal suture not discernible, the hind tibia is flattened with three rows of strong spines and the row with the strongest spines usually numbers eight.

  • And Raman Spectroscopy for Non-Invasive Characterization Of
    Li et al. Herit Sci (2020) 8:22 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40494-020-00366-3 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Applying micro‑computed tomography (micro‑CT) and Raman spectroscopy for non‑invasive characterization of coating and coating pigments on ancient Chinese papers Tao Li1* , Chuang Liu2,3* and Dongmei Wang4 Abstract The coating technique, supposedly invented by Chinese papermakers no later than the 3rd century AD, greatly improved paper sheets’ qualities of color, texture, writability, and printability. Alongside the dispersal of papermak- ing and surface-treatment techniques beyond China, coated papers were manufactured and used in many other regions of the world. Understanding the manufacture of coated papers, therefore, is crucial for perceiving how surface treatments were developed to meet the need for paper with enhanced properties. However, the characterization of coating and coating pigments on ancient Chinese papers has long remained an unsolved issue, and previous stud- ies on this topic have often produced inconclusive results. To explore a non-invasive methodology that can more reliably characterize coated papers and the coating pigment on them, this article presents the results of a pilot study that applied micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) and Raman spectroscopy to samples of three Qing Dynasty (1644–1911 AD) papers and two handmade papers manufactured in China in the 1990s. Micro-CT revealed the coat- ing layer(s) on Lajian (waxed coated paper) and Lengjinjian (gold-dusted paper) of the Qing Dynasty and character- ized the modern raw xuan and bamboo papers as uncoated. Raman spectroscopy, together with handheld X-ray fuorescence analysis, identifed the mineral-based pigment in the coating layer, suggesting the use of lead white or kaolin as the coating pigment.

It's really fun to try different surfaces to see what kind of results you can achive. For more consistent results stick with and learn all the characteristics of one particular kind of paper. Paints Iridescent Paint. Iridescent Paints are amazing. There are several on the market and you can buy the "sparkle" and add to your existing paints. Brusho or Crystal Paint An assortment of set is usually a great bargain and most companies offer them. Be sure to get black and grey as they will serve you well. I like Brusho and have several Youtubes on what to buy and how to use it. Tube paint I love American Journey Paints available from Cheap Joe's but I do tend to mix and match and encourage you to do the same. This is the palette that I use I highly recommend that you use whatever your most comfortable with and have an established relationship.

  • PAINTING YOUR HISTORIC HOUSE PART I: COLONIAL and FEDERAL 1640-1840 Colonial Period (1640-1780)
    Ipswich Historical Commission PAINTING YOUR HISTORIC HOUSE A GUIDE TO COLORS AND COLOR SCHEMES PART I: COLONIAL AND FEDERAL 1640-1840 Paint was used to delineate the three main visual elements of Colonial and Federal houses: Body: the walls – usually clapboarded or shingled, sometimes boarded. Trim: the decorative woodwork that framed the large wall surfaces and often the smaller elements such as windows and doors. Sash: The movable elements – doors, windows, shutters. First Period houses rarely painted trim and sash in different colors and so were generally of two colors only; later styles often had three. Colonial Period (1640-1780) First Period or Post-Medieval (1640s–1720s) Architecture: asymmetry, verticality. 17th -century colors were derived from earth, stone or other natural pigments. Interiors: Earthy reds, indigos, ochre, burnt umber. Body: clapboards, originally not painted or stained but weathered to dark brown. Chocolate paint appropriate today. Trim: Unpainted or painted Indian red/Spanish brown to contrast with unpainted body. Second Period or Georgian (1725-1780) Architecture: symmetry, horizontality, classical proportions Georgian houses favored stronger colors from naturally derived pigments. Colors imitating stone construction were popular exteriors, interiors were bolder and brighter than once thought. Modest and rural houses often not painted. Strongly contrasted color schemes favored. Body: dark stone colors, chocolates, orange, ochers, greys and reds. Trim: Almost always white, but a softer, yellower white than today’s white. Cornices, window and door casings, cornerboards and molded details often simulated stone – pale grey, yellowish-white, very pale blue, sometimes with sand blown into the wet paint. Doors: always dark color – chocolate, red, green or blue.

  • Colour Chart.Indd
    The Paints, Past and Present Details and Descriptions of Colours This section gives assessments for certain determinable characteristics of all the colours presently in my range, as well as a few informal remarks on their qualities and idiosynchrasies when used. Following the pattern already laid out on all my tube and can labels, and on my more recent colour charts, I give: (1) The Colour Index Number: This is an international system for classifying and identifying pigments solely by their (often very complex) chemical formulae( e.g P(igment) R(ed) 106, Mercuric Sulphide known as Genuine Vermilion). The use of vague traditional or invented colour names is thus clarifi ed, and so, in theory at least, is the vexed matter of what pigments manufacturers actually put into their paints. If a colourman is honest, each constituent pigment in a paint can be specifi ed precisely, and the practice of secretly adulterating or even completely substituting cheaper alternatives is made impossible. Assuming, that is, the colourman is honest…I can certainly state that there are no secret additions to any of the paints in my range. What you read as the C.I number on the label is what you get. (2) Estimated Relative Drying Speed: Bearing in mind that all drying speeds will be affected by temperature, humidity and light levels, these give a broad calibration of comparative speeds, from the Very Fast, such as the Umbers, many of which, if used neat, will be touch dry within a hot summer day, to the Very Slow, which in unmixed state, might take up to a week.

  • Color Rendering Enhancers
    Out of the Wood BY MIKE WOOD Color rendering enhancers THOSE OF YOU who have read this column in the past will know that I consider the current trend of using white LEDs with dichroic subtractive color mixing to be a transient anomaly. It just seems crazy to me that we don’t use the strength of LEDs as excellent additive mixing sources, but instead use them to make a mediocre white light source, then throw away most of the light by using subtractive color mixing.
